Dense, erudite and sometimes even esoteric, Bonfand’s book is written for the
scholar rather than a more general audience. Nevertheless, one has to acknowledge the
risk-taking and even the tour de force aspect of the book in which Bonfand ponders the

desires and intentions with a health care provider because of
anticipated negative reactions. Women tended to see doctors and
nurses as handling matters related to care and treatment, with the

providers to be supportive of their reproductive choice. Others
encountered providers who expressed negative attitudes towards
HIV-infected women becoming pregnant.

the factors that affect the quality of individual decisions.

The diagnosis of breast cancer, the most common type of cancer amongAmerican women,
elicits greater distress than any other diagnosis, regardless of prognosis (National Cancer
Institute [NCI], 1997; Stechlin & Beach, 1966; Vinokur, Threatt, Caplan, & Zimmerman,
1989). The aim of this article is to shed more light on the relationship between quality of
life and aspects of the psychosocial experience for women with breast cancer.
